EMM's management believes that the current price of its common shares do
not fully reflect the underlying value of the common shares and that,
accordingly, purchasing its own common shares would be in the best interests
of EMM and its shareholders. Such purchases will increase the proportionate
interest of, and may be advantageous to all remaining shareholders. In
addition, EMM's purchases may increase liquidity to EMM's shareholders wishing
to sell their common shares.
EMM purchased 315,000 shares (approximately 5% of the issued and
outstanding shares) during the previous Normal Course Issuer Bid from February
1st, 2008 to present.
